The week of peace is now London wide, and is being marked by most boroughs.
However it was started in Haringey in September 2001, in response to local community concerns.

In past years Haringey's Peace Alliance has hosted events that included peace walks, peace concerts and prayer walks around crime hotspots.

The event proved so popular that it's now a borough wide event that runs until Sunday 21st September.
